Default Re: Cutting Off Set Equity

The simplest way to do that is to see what is equity of AA IF you hit a set. It is about 80% (you can stove it.. AA vs 33 with one 3 on the board will do the trick).
So for 100BB stacks you win 60BB for every allin if you hit. You hit 2 times in 17. The rest is simple.
In practice it has little meaning because :
-you have more hands in your range, some of them won't stack off so implied odds for the pair decrease
-you will sometimes stack off with top pair (for example AK hitting Kxx) when you have less equity than overpair

I did some analysis of those situations here
